  BOSTON, MA, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Tributes.com, the online resource for local and national obituary news
and multimedia tributes, announced today that they have added a new
product to their line of online memorial offerings specifically designed
to help families honor lost loved ones who served in the U.S. military.
Tributes.com is now providing families with easy-to-use tools to create a
lasting military tribute, complete with information on their loved one's
time of service, duty stations and deployments, photo slideshows for
military memories, as well as branch-specific themes, as a way to honor
and remember their fallen heroes.

    Tributes.com has partnered with SplashFX Inc., an interactive solutions
firm that provides engaging military shadowboxes that can be customized
to showcase the deceased veteran's awards and badges earned during their
time of service. This is an exciting way to preserve and celebrate their
accomplishments. These capabilities add to the site's existing tribute
creation tools that allow the addition of videos, music and the creation
of photo slideshows, making it simple for users to share meaningful
remembrances of their beloved veteran.

    "By allowing families to create military tributes, we hope to honor the
decades of veterans who have served our country," said Elaine Haney,
President of Tributes.com. "With our help, families can capture the
invaluable stories of veterans from the World War era through present day.
With over 4,000 veterans lost in recent conflicts alone, it is more
important than ever that we focus on a special recognition for our most
valued citizens."

    "Creating a tribute for my father was an emotional experience for me and
my entire family. We dug up his old photos to create the slideshow, added
his medals he was so proud of, and included his precious stories about his
service with the Coast Guard. It means so much to me that my children and
grandchildren will be able to visit this beautiful tribute and learn about
the wonderful man their grandfather and great-grandfather was," said Terry
DuBois, who created a military tribute for her father Victor.
